An anonymous donor is celebrating Lisa Unger Baskin by matching her promised gift to fund the Dorothy Porter Wesley Fellowship for Black Bibliographers! This second major gift extends BSA’s capacity to honor Dorothy Porter Wesley with an endowment in her name funding not one, but two, awards: one Fellowship and one New Scholars award.
The Council is proud to announce that Lisa Unger Baskin has made a promised gift of $42,500, half of the total amount required, to endow the Dorothy Porter Wesley Fellowship in perpetuity. The Fellowship of $3,000 is awarded each year to a Black individual for research on any topic. In honor of Lisa Unger Baskin’s 80th birthday on June 27, 2023, the Council calls on our community to join her in the effort to fully endow the Fellowship.
The Bibliographical Society of America (BSA) is thrilled to announce the winners of the St. Louis Mercantile Library Prize, an annual academic book prize honoring scholarship in the bibliography of American history and literature.
